Robyn (61) is a Waste Education Consultant and Chris (64) is a retired Primary School Teacher now self employed with an Equestrian Service business. They have been married for 34 years, have 2 adult children and own a small rural property at Serpentine, 50 km from Perth, Western Australia where they keep 6 dressage horses, 2 whippets, 3 cats and a menagerie of poultry and have a large organic/permaculture vegetable garden.

Why we want to house sit

We would love to soak up the local atmosphere of a foreign community by caring for someone's precious property and animals and meeting the local people. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of chatting to locals when walking the house sit dogs at our first house sit position we found through Trusted Housesitters, in Marlow, UK, in December 2014

Our experience

I am an experienced organic gardener with a keen interest in minimizing waste and sustainability. My husband has a wide range of maintenance skills associated with owning a rural property such as mending reticulation and fencing. We both have had extensive experience with breeding, riding and caring for horses and looking after a range of other animals including dogs, cats, poultry, rabbits, guinea pigs and goldfish!

We cannot recommend Robyn and Chris highly enough, a fun friendly couple who did a great job looking after quite a handful of pets for us.

I have known Chris, Robyn and their family as both friends and neighbours for the past 15+ years. They are completely reliable, hardworking and lovely to know. They are flexible and accommodating, as well as highly organised in all dealings with their property, animals and house maintenance. Both Chris and Robyn can be relied upon to 'make good' if things go wrong and to always 'do the right thing'. I have no hesitation in recommending this couple.
